"Best Company I've Ever Worked For"

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Crate and Barrel full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Crate & Barrel searches the globe for merchandise that offers great design, remarkable quality, and timeless style. The company therefore attracts employees from all walks of life, and fosters excellence with stupendous comradery and frequent training. Crate & Barrel is very inclusive and encourages collaboration. It values the opinions of its workers and customers with the utmost respect. It is also very proud of its Illinois heritage and loyal partnership with its vendors around the world. Lastly they offer great innovation and trend-setting style that is simply iconic.
Cons
The showroom hours can be long and tough, especially with lots of customers shopping, but the teamwork makes it all worth it. Wages were fair but raises were very modest. However, the path to career advancement is great many of my coworkers and myself all received promotions that took us to management, corporate, or furniture sales.
Advice to Management
Keep up the enthusiasm, comradery, and exceptional leadership!

Pros
The people at my store were great: very friendly, caring, and always bringing in food. They were sad to see me leave every August, and excited to see me each May. My managers gave me reasonable workloads and my duties were reasonably varied each day and allowed me to work both in the back and front of house.
Cons
Lifting heavy merchandise all day was tiresome, though that is the nature of the job. Other than that I had no problems with the job and it paid well, $11.25/hr, and my second summer onwards $11.5/hr.
Advice to Management
Have more than one merchandiser work on heavy tasks like overstock movement.

Pros
Everyone really cares about our customers and providing the best possible experience for them. We work as a team and try to listen to understand issues that need to be resolved. Crate is also a great environment to work in!
Cons
Keeping up with technology in supply chain is a major issue. We are still using the AS 400 system for the retail fulfillment which is outdated. We also need to reinvest in our material handling equipment and conveyor system.
Advice to Management
Continue to seek out improvement ideas from the teams at all locations.
